I read way too many stories where the police officer shoots or otherwise kills the dog, so this is a refreshing and uplifting change of pace. My pets are part of my family and reading countless stories where the dog is executed for no justifiable reason doesn't make me sad, it makes me angry. I get that cops have a tough job, coming face to face with danger to ensure everyone's safety, but if you scare easily, then maybe being a police officer isn't the best job option for you.

Did you hear that? I think shit might have just gotten real, y’all.
